Description

From the first cover ft starro infecting the JLA comes this striking image by the great Brian Bolland who was just starting out at DC in 1981. It has been documented in interviews that the cover image was what sparked the storyline as Bolland did the cover prior to the plot being written. Huge thanks to Joseph for making this dream come true.

A beautiful cover - I was sorely tempted when I saw it. I'm glad it went to such a great collection - congrats!

Wow!  Love it, and can absolutely see why DC would have derived a story based on just the image.  And from '81!  Big congrats, Karim!

Brian Bolland put Invasion of the body snatchers and Alien facehugger horror into the mainstream DCU with a clean and precise illustration!  Very memorbale and striking as the heroes are now subjugated by their earliest enemy in Starro!

Just realized, Starro on the face has similar design to Sunfire. Maybe a coincidence? Beautiful pick up, by the way!
